Bill Ballenger was the founder of Inside Michigan Politics, a state-based biweekly subscription newsletter that he launched in 1987 and published for 27 years. He was also, for six years, a horse racing columnist for The Detroit Free Press. For a dozen years (1992-2004), he hosted a weekly hour-long, call-in program on political issues on WKAR, a public radio station on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. He also was featured on The Friday Morning Podcast from 2016 to 2019, and he hosted a weekly hour-long talk show called “The Political Insider” on the Michigan Talk Network for three years, from 2018-2021.

Now that Bill is no longer associated with Inside Michigan Politics and his radio shows and podcast, he offers The Ballenger Report as something different than Inside Michigan Politics or any other news service. The Ballenger Report will offer unique articles that you will not find anywhere else. His podcast and his 165 “Political Insider” radio shows are also archived in The Ballenger Report.
